HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— DECORATIVE PLANTS 



DREER'S DECORATIVE PALMS 



No collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their^bold, majestic, yet graceful foliage lends a 

 grandeur and magnificence that cannot be obtained by any other class of plants, 

 and no decoration, whether in the conservatory, hall or sitting room, 

 is complete without them. 



Areca Lutescens. One of the most graceful and beautiful Palms in 

 cultivation; the foliage is of a bright, glossy green, with yellow stems.

Cocos Weddeliana. The most graceful and elegant of all Palms. Its slender 

 erect stem is freely furnished with its gracefully arching rich green leaves. 

 The sizes offered are admirable for fern dishes. Young plants in 2i-inch pots, 

 35 cts. each; 3-inch pots, 12 inches high, 50 cts. each. 

 Kentla Belmoreana. The Kentias are the hardiest Palms in cultivation. 

 They are of slow growth, and are less affected by the dust and dry atmosphere 

 of the house than any others. The variety here offered is of dwarf, spreading 

 habit, with fine rich, dark green foliage.

Kentia Belmoreana 

 Phoenix Roebeleni. The most graceful of the Phoenix, and a 

 Palm which has become one of the most popular for room decora- 

 tion. The plant is of vigorous growth, and its gracefully, re- 

 curving leaves, with very narrow dark green pinnae give it a 

 lightness and airiness not surpassed, if equalled, by Cocos 

 Weddeliana; at the same time it is as hardy as a Kentia, suc- 

 ceeding admirably as a house plant.

 foliage.

AQUATIC PLANTS FOR AQUARIUMS 



It is doubtful if anything is more fascinating to the j'oung as well asto the older members of thehousehold, than to watch the 

 development of animal and plant life in the aquaria. Fish wUl not thrive imless enough plants are growing to furnish them with oxygen. 

 To do this there should be not less than one plant to every two gallons of water. The ideal temperature is about 50 degrees, and a shady 

 comer, or a window facing north, is best during the summer, and an east window during the winter. (Cultural Leaflet on request.)
